I'm disputing the locking of my Placenta thread

[Barfo]

Thread in question is here.

So just because one moderator doesn't like the topic of my thread, he can lock it? The thread's title is plenty clear of what is it about so if Red Dawn doesn't want to read it he's not forced to, but he chooses to lock it effectively preventing anyone from participating in the discussion even if they don't share his views, that is unfair for a lot of people.

I'm requesting my thread is unlocked, as it is not infringing any rules, and Red Dawn and the people who do not find the topic appealing can stay out of it.


From the posting guidelines

The tone of our Forums is expected to remain at least at a "basic cable" level. This is just a general yardstick for users and moderators to get an idea of what we expect. Content that crosses this line, as interpreted by our moderators, will be subject to moderation.

In my opinion as a Moderator your thread and the original post's content crossed the line. In addition I felt it was extremely childish of you to post something like that and in fact I felt it was bordering on Trolling. If I see you post something like that again I will give you a time out away from the forum.

Eating the Placenta is actually a Tradition amongst some. I'm not sure what the hubbub is, although I'd never eat it.

And I respect your opinion, same as Red Dawn's, but the fact that you don't like it shouldn't prevent other people from commenting on it.

You forget that because they are mods, they have to read it.

There are plenty of OT mods so if one or two choose to skip it another can cover for them.
